A couple in their 30s living in Aichi Prefecture have filed a lawsuit seeking compensation from the government. They argue that provisions such as the Civil Code that do not allow same-sex marriage violate the Constitution.
Five similar lawsuits have been filed nationwide, and this is the fourth ruling. In similar lawsuits, the court's judgment on whether it violates the Constitution is divided and the judgment is noted. The verdict is scheduled to be handed down at 5 p.m. on the 4th.
